HARDY AZALEAS. 



On page 449 I directed attention to the great value of these 

 hardy shrubs for in and outdoor decoratiou and to their com- 

 parative scarcity in English gardens. Except a few of the 

 older varieties of the Ghent Azaleas we seldom meet with 

 examples of these plants either in shrubberies or conser- 

 vatories. This can only arise, I think, from the newer 

 varieties not being sufficiently known. As no opportunities 

 are, so far as I am aware of, equal to the Belgian exhibitions 

 held in the spring for affording a comparison of the best 

 varieties of hardy Azaleas I will note a few which I have seen 

 there, and which may be fairly regarded as the best yet in 

 commerce. 



Ghent Azaleas. — These are so named because they were first 

 raised at Gbent by crossing the Turkish species of A. pontica 

 with some of the hardy American Azaleas. The best varieties 

 are quite hardy, and are very beautiful. A few of the more 

 striking are Bij'ou de Gendbrugge, pure white border with rose ; 

 Louis A. Van Houtte, vermilion and orange, very bright ; 

 Sang de Gendbrugge, bright reddish crimeon ; Mina Van 

 Houtte, rose, white, and salmon ; Louis Hellebujek, ver- 

 milion shaded with orange ; Bouquet de Flore, rose, white, 

 and orange; Rose de Flandre, brigbt rose and white; Madame 

 Alex. Hardy, white, red, and yellow; Auguste Mechelynck, 

 white, rose, and yellow ; Domenico Scassi, salmon rose, white, 

 and yellow; Guelder Roos, orange and chrome yellow; and Fritz 

 Quihow, deep bright red. I think those twelve varieties can- 

 not be surpassed, and it is noteworthy that nine of them were 

 raised by Van Houtte. Only the more prominent colours are 

 given, details of the spots and stripes being omitted. A few 

 good older varieties are the following : — Queen Victoria, Ardent-
